After @ArsenalWFC stunned Barcelona to win the #UWCL final, I couldn’t help but wonder—would we have made it this far if Jonas Eidevall had stayed the whole season?
Vibes aside, my short answer: no.
Here's why. 🧵

@now_arsenaI I’d rather have Sesko than Gyökeres any day. Personally feel like he has more upside.

Under Slegers, Arsenal’s shot output became more consistent—and often higher—as the season progressed.
More chances. More goals. More control.

What do you think — would @ArsenalWFC have lifted the #UWCL trophy if Jonas had stayed? Or… if he’d left sooner, could we have challenged Chelsea for the WSL title too? #woso #WomensFootball

[SumGunnerStats @SumGunnerStats]

Jonas managed 9 matches before resigning.
•In the WSL: avg. 1 goal for, 1 against
•In the UWCL: avg. 2.6 goals for, 1.2 against
But remove two blowout wins, and it drops to 1 for, 2 against.
Under Slegers?
•3.22 goals per WSL match
•2.4 per UWCL match

Clean sheets:
•Jonas: 55.5% of matches
•Slegers: 46.4%
On paper, Jonas leads it.
But context is key—Slegers faced much tougher opposition deeper into the season.

[SumGunnerStats @SumGunnerStats]

Under Jonas, Arsenal failed to score in 2 matches.
Under Renée Slegers? Just 2 scoreless games in 28.
Incredible improvement.

Back after a long hiatus, we had a baby in October and its been crazy. A friend and I were chatting about whether or not #ChelseaFCWomen could drop enough points for #ArsenalWFC to catch up. Besides #MUWomen, Arsenal have the second hardest schedule during the run-in. Thoughts?

Someone put Alessia Russo on this pitch

@ArsenalWFC shot map from their big win against @FCBfrauen to close out the 2024 calendar year. Arsenal generated 1.75 xG off of 7 shots. The own goal scored by Bayern is not marked. #Analytics #AlessiaRusso #MarionaCaldentey #woso

And last but not least... the combination shot map and timeline for your viewing pleasure. Overall, good match but can't help but feel we could have come away with a bit more. #ArsenalWFC #LiverpoolFCW #WSL #AlessiaRusso #FridaMaanum

[SumGunnerStats @SumGunnerStats]

Back with data and graphics from the @ArsenalWFC 1-0 win over @LiverpoolFCW on Sunday. The Gunners generated 2.18 xG including Mariona's missed penalty which had an xG of 0.73. With 12 total shots and 1 goal, the goal conversion rate was ~8.3%. #MarionaCaldentey #ArsenalWFC #WSL

[SumGunnerStats @SumGunnerStats]

6 of the 12 shots taken by Arsenal were between the 75th and 80th minute. The xG during this 5 minute period was 0.56; suggesting Arsenal ~probably~ should have come away with another goal here. 38.6% of the match npxG came from this time too. #ArsenalWFC #WSL #Foord #McCabe

[SumGunnerStats @SumGunnerStats]

There is very little comprehensive shot data available for women’s teams, which makes detailed match analysis challenging. This set of graphics represents a creative effort to bridge that gap: a combination of data from FBref & hand-estimated y-values based on SofaScore visuals.
